5. “Politics and the English Language” Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
